"War, Fascism, concentration camps, rubber truncheons, atomic bombs, etc., are what we daily think about, and therefore to a great extent what we write about, even when we do not name them openly. We cannot help this. When you are on a sinking ship, your thoughts will be about sinking ships." --George Orwell (1903-1950)[Thanks to Alex Constantine @ http://aconstantineblacklist.blogspot.com/]

Oklahomans Jump on Bush-League NAFTA Superhighway Class War

Since the Bush II White House's NAFTA land grab is spreading northward from Texas, Oklahomans are discovering it is a good idea for their own private property to support resistance efforts to their south.

The American mainstream media is trying its very best to make GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul of Texas a long shot in 2008.

The reason for Paul's marginalization (and here, here among other instances) in the media is quiet simple; he speaks truth on at least one topic big-money politicos and prez candidates, Republicans and Democrats alike, fear to tread: the impending North American Union.

The Galveston, Texas lawmaker is intimately aware of the power elite's covert plan to roll up the U.S. with Mexico and Canada into a European-styled political entity. Milkhouse Mouse has extensively addressed his topic, (for example, here in December):

Let's also not forget the European-styled North American Union for the US, Canada and Mexico approved in 2005 through a pact signed by Bush without constitutionally-mandated congressional review. In October [2006] Dr. Robert Pastor, [Council on Foreign Relations member and] chief architect of the plan, told a Mexican publication (which the American news media took as their cue to ignore) that "a new 9/11 crisis" could serve to expedite his trade and commerce unification plan.

That same month veteran Texas Republican congressman Ron Paulwarned Americans of another crisis embedded in Pastor's plan. On his U.S. House website, Paul reports the "NAFTA Superhighway," a massive infrastructure crisscrossing the US to physically link the three countries, will necessitate "coordinated federal and state eminent domain actions on an unprecedented scale, as literally millions of people and businesses could be displaced" to provide right-of-way for those construction projects that begin early next year in Texas.

States close to the carnage (like Oklahoma; see below) are catching on to the land grab abetted by recent eminent domain rulings. Last year, Beltway journalist Wayne Madsen confirmed Texas Governor Rick Perry's proxy role on behalf of the criminal Bushes, themselves agents for Saudi and Chinese investment interests.

George W. Bush's pick for Transportation Secretary represents a major conflict-of-interest designed to spur the construction of the Trans-Texas Corridor -- a project in which Bush and his cronies are heavily invested. Last week, Bush nominated Mary Peters to replace Norman Mineta as Secretary of Transportation. Unlike Mineta, a former congressman who then became a Vice President [of] the aerospace defense giant Lockheed Martin, Peters comes out of the surface transportation industry. She is a vice president for the engineering firm HDR and co-vice chairman of the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission. From 2001 to 2005, Peters was the head of the Federal Highway Administration. Peters is also a former head of the Arizona Department of Transportation. Peters worked in the administration of disgraced GOP Governor Fife Symington, who was convicted of bank fraud and resigned from office. (Symington was later pardoned by his college friend, President Bill Clinton).

Peters' commitment to major "infrastructure development" of the nation's highways centers on the development of the North American SuperCorridor (NASCO) highway, of which the Tran-Texas Corridor will be a major component. Already, Bush crime syndicate cronies, including interests tied to Texas Governor Rick Perry, are purchasing property along the proposed Texas highway route at cut-rate prices, using "eminent domain" statutes to pay less than what private and commercial property is worth. The money for the massive land grab is coming from Saudi and Chinese sources, according to knowledgeable sources in Texas.

Texas Super Corridor Rebellion spreads to Oklahoma

By Patrick Wood

There is a growing rebellion in Texas against the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) that promises to dislodge (e.g., eminent domain seizures) between 500,000 and 1,000,00 acres of prime Texas ranch and farm land so that a 1,200 foot NAFTA transportation Super Corridor can be built by a foreign corporation to transport containers full of foreign goods from Mexico to Kansas City. One group of concerned Oklahomans have realized that Oklahoma is next on the globalist menu.

You see, the planned I-35 Super Corridor is scheduled to run straight through Oklahoma and consume some 32,000 acres of privately-held property.

A group of local citizens formed Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise (OK-SAFE) in order to make sure it doesn’t happen.

And their first public meeting (on Saturday, September 29) in Tulsa drew over 300 energized Oklahomans, local media and several state legislators to discuss the issues and hammer out a strategy.

Nationally known speakers were flown in: David Stall of Corridor Watch in Texas; Dr. Jerome Corsi, author of The Late Great USA. and Tom DeWeese of American Policy Center in Washington; D.C. Local speakers included members of the Oklahoma state Senate and House. National attention was provided by the discrete presence of the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), which represents over 100,000 Americans all across the country.

David Stall’s meticulous and well-documented presentation detailed how Texas is being railroaded by trade-hungry corporate fascists and warned that Oklahoma is next. Gasps of astonishment could be heard. Few had any idea that it had progressed this far, this fast.

His conclusion, “Not one ounce of concrete for the Oklahoma Super Corridor!” drew cheers, whoops and a standing ovation for DeWeese a nationally known expert on Sovereignty and Private-Public Partnerships.

By contrast, Dr. Jerome Corsi was applauded at least a dozen times, and received a standing ovation at his conclusion.

Senator Randy Brogdan pledged to submit legislation to summarily withdraw Oklahoma from the Super Corridor's main promoter, NASCO. More cheers and applause. “We don’t need a new superhighway four-football-fields-wide coming through the heart of our state just so Mexican trucks can carry Chinese containers from Mexican ports to Kansas City,” he said.

Eager ears listened to Representative John Wright’s concrete examples on how citizens can be involved in the legislative process.

Copies of Corsi’s new best-selling book, The Late Great USA, were predictably gobbled up and then created an enthusiastic traffic jam when he hung around afterward for an autograph session.

Freedom and sovereignty are not yet dead, at least in the hearts of these hardy souls.

Of such is the resistance against the globalist steamroller.

Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper is one of the Security and Prosperity Partnership’s “Three Amigos” who are pledged to merge Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into one big happy North American Community. He gave a surprising speech last Tuesday to the Council on Foreign Affairs in New York.

The Star (Canada) reports that Harper was "deeply concerned" that the political discourse in the U.S. had been infected by "populism, protectionism and nationalism in an unhealthy sense."

Eh, What? Did Harper have a premonition of the Tulsa rally?

Well, we hear you, Stephen. Do you hear us? You may be waiting a long, long time for your supposedly non-existent NAFTA Super Corridor to show up at your Canadian border.

Alas! Tulsa. With the weekend behind and everyone safely back to where they belong, one has a lingering sense that something historic has just taken place. Other states are already waiting for their chance to jump on board.
